tional Cities Want to Play the Host
WASHINGTON, July 29.-For the first time
during the present week there was no bust
ness at the White House to-day which made
it necessary for the President to come into
the city. Therefore he spent the entire day
at his country home, Oakview, where the
temperature is said to be at least To- lower
than at the White House, and where he is
able to endure the present hot spell with de-
cidedly more comfort than is possible at his
official residence. The President will remain
at Oakview pretty much all the time until
he leaves the capital for his Southern and
Western trip in October.
WILL COME IN OCCASIONALLY.
He may come into the city once or twice
a week to attend Cabinet meetings, but it
is not believed that these meetings will be
continued with any regularity during the
summer. Col Lamont will continue his
daily visits to the White House to attond to
all necessary business and all matters of i'm
portance which may arise during the day
will be submitted by him to the President
i'll the evening.

zens of st. Paul and Minneapolis had been

request that the committees abandon their
proposed trip to Washington and that in

however, regarded as settled that these cities
will be included in his Western trip.
